Dean Williams (born February 17, 1977 in England) is a British professional basketball player, and currently plays for the Guildford Heat in the British Basketball League.[1]
The 6 ft 3 in tall Guard was educated at Marjon's and has played internationally for the England national team. Williams started his professional basketball career for the London Towers, having previously played for amateur club Brixton Topcats.
He left the Towers in 2000 to join National Basketball League team the Plymouth Raiders, where he spent three successful season before moving back into the top-flight with fellow team mate Roderick Wellington, both of whom joined British Basketball League team the Thames Valley Tigers in 2004, the same year that the Raiders also made the jump to the BBL. After one season with the Tigers, the club folded and through the efforts of local fans a new club was set up to replace them, the Guildford Heat, of which Dean was a part of the first roster of the new club. In 2009, Williams moved to newly created Essex Pirates to become part of their first roster, just like at Guildford 4 years earlier.
As well as his basketball career, he is also currently a full-time maths teacher at Sandhurst School in room A22♥.
